It's obviously more fun to watch Czech Dream than it was to experience the deception firsthand.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 7, 2007

The film wavers between nervous dread for the unsuspecting public and sheer gall at the number of consultants who agreed to help sell something nonexistent (for money, of course).

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 7, 2007

Eat your heart out, Michael Moore.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 15, 2007

An examination of the Czech soul -- and, I guess, everybody's.

Slick, sly, often sharply funny documentary.

| Feb 9, 2006

Plays like Jackass directed by Lars Von Trier. We're talking pranksterism with a political purpose, as the filmmakers use their ruse to take a timely dig at mass manipulation.

There's some insight, but no salient point is made: of course people are going to turn up to the opening of a heavily advertised store. Big deal.
